Creates Opportunity.

AS will be seen by two paragraphs in
this issue from THE GAZETTE, a project
is on foot in Fort Worth to get line of
road from that place to Austin, to meet
the Austin and Northwestern at Burnett
We don't know just what the scheme is,
but Burnet needs northern outlet and
would as soon have it via Fort Worth as
Dallas. The Forts railroad-building
propensity is unbounded, and it's enter
prise is of the kind that creates oppor-
tunities rather than waits for them to
offer. Hence, it may be that The problem
of northern connection for Burnet is
nearer solution than most people think.

Company. The building is to be 60x48O
feet, $50 feet of the building to be two
stories high. 1t is to be of iron, and will
be completed in sixty days. The new
buildings with the present plant will haYe
cost when completed $3l, 900. The bal
ance of the money is to be put into
machinery and material. The works at
present employ fifty hands, and as soon
as the new buildings are completed 100
men will be put to work, and inside of
twelve months this number will be in
creased to 200. The company has always
done heavy business with the railroad
companies and will find ready market
for all railroad castings and cars, fiat,
box, stock, passenger and palace sleepers
manufactured by it. 1t is now doing an
immense business in the other lines men
toned in the charter. This institution
has grown from small beginning. In
November, 1888, Oscar Lynch, John
F. Moore, A. Ryan and G. W.
Chollar, with less than $500
8 piece began operations as the Fort
Worth Boiler and Machine Works. In
three years they had a plant worth $780,
600. The only requisite to complete sue
cess was capital, and in February Mr..
Oscar Lynch set about interesting our
people in the enterprise and forming a
stock company. By his persistent effort
and uniagging energy he has in three
months accomplished the purpose in
view. In the old concern Mr.. Lynch was
manager, Mr.. John T. Moore gene al su-
perintendent, and Mr.. A. Ryan superin-
tendent of the machinery depart
ment. Mr.. Chollar withdrew from
the company some time ago
to establish the Eagle Boiler
and Machine Works, which venture has
proved very successful. The railroad
companies are all glad to know that there
is an esta blishment in Texas where they
can have work In their line done. Ground
for the buildings will probably be broken
to-day, and it will not be great while
until cars in trains passing over the
eleven railroads from this city will bear the

His Predicament.


Her witching bonnet trimmed with lace,
The sweetness of her upturned face
Enchant me.
Her figure trim, modish, petite,
Her slender hands, her dainty feet,
They haunt me!
1 dream of her the long night through,
And VOW that bravely will WOO
And win her.
I know she's good, and kind, and true
I love her better than do
My dinner.
I love her fondly-yet know
I'd never dare to tell her so
Or pet her.
And while Pm waiting, I'm afraid
Some other chap will court the maid,
And get her.

Warfare Against Society,""


ing article from the pen of Prof. P A P. Barnard,
on the above subject, published in The Forum for
November:
"To come down, however, from generalities to
statements little more definite, we may observe
that Mr.. Edward Atkinson, Of Boston, a gentle
man who has devoted some years to the study of
industrial statistics, and whose familiarity with
facts entities his opinion to the highest consdera-
ton, has furnished US with an estimate which
throws, for our own country at least very vivid
light upon the point in question As the result of
his inquiries, he concludes that the annual produc-
tion of all the industries of the United States can
not exceed 5000 per head of the population, which
would give a total Of S12 600, 600. An equal
distribution of this product would give to each
family of five persons, in population Of 60,OOO,-
900, or II 600, 900 families, distributve share of
81 900 per annum. Now, suppose that one. third
of these families, groups of FIVE, manage to Sc
cure an average share of $4,000 per annum, the
remaining two thirds would be reduced to an
average of $500 only. Suppose one-halr of this
third to be fortunate enough, or skillful enough,
to increase their average to So, 900, the remaining
half continuing at $4,000, the average share Of
the two-thirds would fall to $3.50, or $50 only per
head, per annum. And inasmuch as the idea of
an average implies that as many are below it as
above it, it is easy to see that the only way of
removing the scourge of poverty from the entire
human race is so to increase the productiveness
of labor that want can only be a consequence of
willful idleness, or improvidence, vice."

Gen. Black and His Mother-in- Law.
Washington Letter.


A story of a mother-in law is causing some little
gossip about town just now. 1t is on Gen. Black
the Commissioner of Pensions. His mother law
has position in the Patent Office, but lives with
him in his fine residence in the west-end. The
Herdic Company, with an idea to business, details
one of their largest red buses to go around the
residence portion of the town at an early hour in
the morning and collect the lady clerks who are
employed in the downtown departments. 1t is a
great convenience, and every morning about $50
o'clock jolly load of females can be seen riding
down town in the roomy herdic. The bus calls
regularly every morning at Gen. Blacks house and
picks up his mother-in-law and takes her to the
Interior Department building. The neighbors
have noticed this and commented, because within
few minutes of the departure of the old lady Gen.
Blacks own carriage-that is the government fed
horses and provided carriage and driver-dash up
to the front door and General Black comes down
the stoop and gets in and drives off to the Pension
Building. The neighbors think it strange that
the Commissioner of Pensions, who prides himself
on his soldiery record, should be so ungallant as
to let his mother-in-law ride in the herdic, and
not take her in his own vehicle, especially as he
has to go past the Interior Department on his way
to his own office.

Dealing on an Alleged Cash Basis.
Americus (Ga.) Republican.

Here is good suggestion for farmers, or any
body else who makes practice of running long
accounts at stores. We get it from an exchange
"a farmer wished to purchase $50 worth of goods,
but he did not have the money to pay down, and
wanted in some way to get 10 per cent. discount
the merchants advice to borrow $50 for three
months. Paying his interest in advance 90 per
cent. for three months, $I25), he had $4S.75 to
trade with. Buying $50 worth of goods and paying
cash, he got 10 per cent off and paid for his goods
$45, having 1915 left. The merchant got his
cash, the man who loaned the money got his in
terest, the farmer got his goods cheap and had
money left, and all hands we're happier than they
would have been had the goods been sold on time.
